Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of deep dry black chocolate notes with some dry roasted coffee notes. Taste is also a mix of black chocolate notes with some floral coffee notes with a dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation with no real discernible alcohol notes. Enjoyable but quite dry with nice floral coffee notes.
